An important meeting was held at the
Office of Secretary Ferguson of the Mis-

surance company Saturday evening, for
the purpose of taking steps looking to
the formal organization of the Build

being to supply the want for houses.

The meeting then adjourned to next
Thursday evening The capital stock
has been placed at $40, 900, but the name
of the organization has not yet been de-
cided upon. though two titles are in con
temptation. one being the South Park
Syndicate and the other the "Reimers
Syndicate. One Of these names vii
doubtless be adopted at the next meet
ing.
The syndicate has already purchased
the valuable Benedict tract on Eleventh
street. near old Fifth avenue. The lane
is situated on the bluff and in one Of the
healthiest parts of the town. The idea il
to divide it up into lots and sell them on
the most reasonable terms imaginable
The inside lots will be offered for S1O(
and the corner lots for 1925 to $50
The purchaser must pay the price of th,
lot down and as much on the house a
possible. Then the syndicate will borrow
the money from one of the loan associa
tons. put up his house for him and b,
may pay for it in stipulated monthly in
stallments. Fifteen lots have alread,
been sold and inside of two weeks GROUND
will be broken for twenty-five houses.
This morning Chairman Reimers o
the syndicate. purchased seventeen anC

contains eleven acres, giving the syndi

in ectasy over the prospect of a boom VI
there. There is talk of the erection of

Much has been said and written about
circuses, and much will continue to be

is for the amusement of the masses; but

and the thousand and one other things
which go to make up show which can
nowadays be entitled a big circus2
